Should fortune smile upon us, stuchiu will bestir himself and write an amazing article like the ones we used to get back in the glory days of yesteryear. More likely mizen or hex will write the article (nothing against them, but I always did like stuchiu's writing the most).

As far as titles go, the subtitle is the only unique bit so I will just specify that:

1. The Man, The Myth, The Machine2. The Empty Throne3. Dictator of Terran4. Leaving a Legacy 5. Threshold of Immortality

Rogue has ascended to macro godhood but he hasn't completely abandoned his unique builds and strategies. Countering a carrier transition by making swarmhosts was not even close to standard.

My one fear as a huge Rogue fanboy is whether he got complacent after qualifying for the WCS Finals. It would be understandable considering his murderous path to get there but it would be sad. If he plays at that level, I think he's the Blizzcon favorite.

Rogue is super super good right now but I have a slight worry that he might not perform at Blizzcon. Obviously, he has the skill to win it, but it's a super stacked tournament and many of these players are capable of beating each other. Rogue might be one of the "favourites" but that doesn't mean that much in such a high level tournament.

My favourite Rogue game is still the game against herO when he went hydra bane rain on Cloud Kingdom (i think). That was so sick.

Because these articles are mostly obtuse ramblings that try to build fake narratives. Hell we have better GSL RO32 previews than this.

I'm not sure what you mean by fake narrative, honestly, but I'm interested in finding out. To me that implies a dishonesty in how a player is portrayed, and while I agree that TL previews can be far-fetched, I would rarely call them dishonest. Will you elaborate?

You put it quite well, i'm not saying they're dishonest, just far-fetched and too emotional/dramatic. Giving soO or Snute such protrayal is fine, but it gets old when the previews portray all 16 players in such a way.Also some more about their playstyle would be great: What are their strenghts? Their weaknesses? What makes them different? What were their best games this year?

I’m so happy that you reached this point of discussion. I completely agree with whats being said here, I just don’t think sc2 scene is one to transition real sports or even other esports stupid lines, hype and introductions that have to sound epic, maybe one player out of them shouldhave been more than enough for those big words that never transcend reality “the monster”, “the KR ladder king”, “the machine”, who calls them that anyway? just nonsene. I’m just angry on how a game thats supposed to be played and watched by people averaging a higher iq than ones following a ball gets dragged in this miserable and idiotic far fetched media crap, you don’t fool us, never have and never will.
